Be A Worshipper in Your Workplace

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.

Colossians 3:23 (ESV)

Many of us struggle to strike a better work-life balance.

The demands and pressures of work and family life and everything else in between can leave us feeling frustrated and exhausted. Too often, we allow the "tyranny of the urgent" to crowd out what is most important and most valuable, sacrificing worship for the sake of work.

We can learn from Jesus not to put work ahead of worship. Though He was busy, He never felt rushed. His seamless connection with God and commitment to accomplish the Father's will allow Jesus to carry out His earthly ministry effectively. 

There was nothing random about how Jesus lived His life. Everything He did had a purpose. It was all about glorifying His Heavenly Father. Even though He had a lot of work to do, He was active in a way that honored God. In other words, Jesus was always a worshipper above all else.

Just imagine if you learn to live like Jesus. 

Consider how your life might be different if you extended your worship beyond Sunday and into the rest of the week. Consider how your life may change if you went to work as a worshipper rather than a worker. Consider the impact you can have when Jesus is at the center of who you are and what you do in the workplace. Listen to Jesus and do what He says.
